The Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4).
2
Butter each slice of bread on one side. Spread marmalade on the other side.
3
Arrange the bread triangles in a baking dish, slightly overlapping.
4
In a saucepan, gently heat the cream and milk until just simmering. Remove from heat.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and slightly thickened. Stir in the orange zest and cinnamon, if using.
6
Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
7
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread in the baking dish. Gently press down on the bread so it soaks up the custard.
8
Let the pudding stand for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
10
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.

Chef's Tips

For a richer pudding, use brioche or challah bread instead of white bread.

You can add dried fruits like raisins or sultanas to the pudding for extra flavor and texture.

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If the top of the pudding is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
